Daft Punk's night just got even bigger. I did not see an Album Of The Year win coming for them, wow! I wonder what exactly do Robots do to celebrate big victories like this??

Also, shoutout to Sacramento's own and American Idol alum Mandisa, who won 2 Grammys tonight for Contemporary Christian Song and Album!

Jay Z gave his wife and daughter shoutouts in his Holy Grail win acceptance speech: "I wanna thank God...for putting that beautiful light of a young lady in my life. And I wanna tell Blue that look, Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you!"
Well done, Jay, well done.

Gotta give it to Taylor Swift, not only have we watched hew grow up before our eyes, she really has grown musically as well. Cool seeing her at the piano, a good look for her.
As a bonus, Willow Smith would have been proud of her hair whipping tonight as well.

Slightly classier performance from Robin Thicke than the last time we saw him! haha
BTW, those old guys he was performing with was Chicago, a group popular in the 70s & 80s. They only had 34 songs hit the Top 40 in their day, no big deal. Yes, 34!! That's a lot.
Thought that was a super-cool version of Blurred Lines with their horns in the background though. And twerk-free. That was key.

Crazy that Daft Punk has been making people shake their booties for almost 20 years now. Their song Around The World is still one of my all-time fave dance tracks. Hope it's a good night for them. 1 win so far!

Wow Lorde did not look like a teenager tonight. Very grown up. She also evidently voted in an Iraqi election before she took the stage tonight.
(sorry, fingernails joke, please don't make me explain it!)

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis win Best New Artist. But the big question is... will Ryan Lewis ever speak a word tonight?? I suspect they'll win a couple more, so he'll have a chance! haha

Now that was sexy performance. The Grammy are off to a steamy start! Really cool seeing Beyonce & Jay Z perform together, although I was worried it was gonna get a little too personal there for a sec!

Halfway through the 1st quarter:
You know what, I'm turning this game off. Football sucks. That personal foul penalty on Whittner was an absolute joke. Football with all its new "protection" rules has become a joke. Football is a violent game, we don't want to admit it, but that's why so many people like it. I hope the Niners win, but I'm not going to waste my time getting all upset over a game. Over it. Can it be baseball season already please?

A couple hours later:
So I turned the game back on in the 4th quarter (see my earlier post) to check the score just in time to see one of the Niners best players get his leg practically snapped in half, and to add insult to injury, even though he the had the ball in his hands at the end of the play, evidently none of the refs saw it, allowing everyone to pile on top of the injured player who of course couldn't hold on to the ball in such excruciating pain. The Seahawks were allowed to keep the ball. Disgusting. At this point, I once again turned the game off, and I'm glad I did.

Seeing everyone's posts about Sherman, I decided to watch his post-game "interview." That, my friends, is what the NFL has turned into today. I couldn't be more appalled at the overall product the NFL is producing these days, from the new pansy rules to the arrogant breed of players which are rapidly coming to dominate the sport. It's just not entertaining anymore. I will not be watching the Super Bowl.
